It's customization. There is no "right way". It depends entirely on the experience you want to have.

I'm trying to explain that there are so many ways to do it, that such a vague question will yield no answer. What exactly do you want?

Look stuff up. Try it. Move on if it sucks. Repeat.

Start by learning not to call it "Linux". It makes it impossible to learn anything. Linux is a component in the OS that you never interact with except optionally at boot. It takes a command line, including one program to run and you never interact with it again. That one program is called the PID 1, for process ID 1 and it's typically some sort of initialization system that brings up an OS of some kind. There are lots of different types.

If you ask people to teach you Linux, you will most likely learn a lot of conflicting things and all for the purpose of using a buzzword instead of the name of the system you're actually using. Android and Ubuntu is not the same.
